| The Films title can be translated to say many things its
literal translation and UK release title was Beauty by day, which would be
in keeping with the film its self, as it comes up to forty years since it
was made and has its obvious re-releases and its squeal
Belle Toujours the film its self still
stands as one of the great films in Cinema history, Based on Joseph Kessel
honest and erotic book tackling a wide range of subjects and feelings while
being typically French, In terms of the film the style and presentation and
it clear content it is a monument to the fact cinema can cover many subjects
in one film and present even the most extreme in a beautiful and sensitive
way that make the watcher think as well as feel. Every scene is built with
an extreme, Parisian elegance that mirrors Séverine’s refined beauty and
this sophisticated beauty is used to tell a story of shocking sexuality,
sordid and aggressive chauvinism, and petty social hypocrisy. |

Belle
De Jour (Paperback)
by Joseph Kessel
Paperback: 142 pages
Publisher: Duckworth & Co; Reprint edition
Release Date: 09/08/2007 |
|
| This is the classic work of
erotic fiction by one of France's greatest writers, long unavailable and
more timely than ever. The startling and groundbreaking novel that inspired
Luis Bunuel's film by the same name is finally available once more. In a
world that blurs the lines between feminism and female sexuality, "Belle de
Jour" remains as vital and controversial today as it was on its 1960 debut.
Severine Serizy is a wealthy and beautiful Parisian housewife. She loves her
husband, but she cannot share physical intimacy with him, and her vivid
sadomasochistic fantasies drive her to seek employment at a brothel. By day,
she enacts her customers' wildest fantasies under the pseudonym 'Belle de
Jour': in the evenings, she returns home to her chaste marriage and
oblivious husband. Famous for its unflinching eroticism, Joseph Kessel's
novel continues to offer an eye-opening glance into a unique female psyche.
